DEVICE FOR REGULATING- PRESSURE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed June 27, 1912.

1,056,438. Patented J an. 14, 1913.

Serial No. 706,146.

To all 107mmz't may concern Be it. known that I, HERMAN Ersnnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Devices for Regulating Pressure, of which the following is a speci fication, the principle of the invention being herein explained and the best mode in which Thave contemplated applying that principle, so as to distinguish it from other inventions.

My invention has gene al reference as alto communicate with the other end of the check-valve 6 and the source of pressure is a connecting pipe 10. A cut-off valve 11 is preferably interposed in advance of the check-valve as clearly indicated. tainer 2 is further provided at its bottom on the other side with another screw-threaded opening 12 to which the faucet 13 is attached for the obvious purpose of permitting the drainage of the container when desired.

Interiorly the container 2 is provided near its upper end, as shown in Fig. II, with a tight partition 14 and this partition is provided upon the side opposite that on which the check-valve is located, with a comparatively small opening 15. This partition should be located as represented, some distance above the level of the water within the container. The partition 14 is moreover provided with another larger and screwthreaded opening 16 in which a mercury tube 17 correspondingly screw-threaded at its upper end is adapted to be suspended. The upper end of this tube projects somesure, while its more particular association is with specific cooperating improvements.

The object of the invention consists in the provision of a device of this character especially adapted for use in conjunction with casks or barrels in which liquids should remain stored under a uniform pressure.

The said invention consists of means which are hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

The annexed drawing and the following description set forth in detail certain means embodying my invention, the disclosed means, however, constituting but one of various mechanical forms in which the principle of my invention may be applied.

Referring now to the drawing, in which like reference characters consistently designate similar parts throughout: Figure I is a side elevation of a device embodying the features of my invention. Fig. II is a vertical Fig. III is an enlarged represented in Fig. II. enlarged section of the III taken on a transwith a screw-cap 18. This screw-cap is provided with an opening 19 through which a pipe 20 extends to a point near the bottom of the mercury-tube. The lowermost extremity of this pipe is closed by a laterally perforated cap 21, and as seen in Fig. TI is normally submerged in the mercury. A setscrew 22 extending through the side of the screw-cap 18 is adapted to abut the pipe 20 whereby its adjustment with respect to the bottom of the tube may be effected as will be readily understood. The screw-cap 18 is likewise provided with another screwthreaded opening 23, the purpose of which will be presently manifested.

A pipe 24 passes through the opening 4 and being similarly screw-threaded at its lowermost extremity, is designed to find accommodation within the opening 23. The portion of this pipe 24 immediately above. the retainer cap 3 is surrounded with any acceptable form of stuffing box 25. Supported above the pipe 24 either as an integral part of it as suggested, or through the medium of any other feasible mode is a separating chamber 26. This chamber is provided above with an opening 27 communieating with the atmosphere. The chamber 26 has attached to it interiorly a duct 28 of considerable length though of smaller crossview of one detail as Fig. IV is a similarly detail shown in Fig. verse line.

The structure comprises in its entirety as seen in either Figs. I or II any suitable type of base 1 which supports a water-retainer 2. This retainer is preferably though not necessarily of elongated cylindrical shape and inclosed at the top with a screw-cap 3. This cap is shown provided with a centrally disposed opening 4, the purpose of which will be hereinafter apparent. The container is furthermore provided below with a screwthreaded inlet opening 5 in which any approved type of check-valve 6 may be seated. This valve comprises in turn the common type of disk 7 provided with a comparatively smaller centrally disposed opening 8 and a properly sized valve seat 9. Adapted which. it projects to a point near the oi? the nuu'cury-tube. The duct 98 llared at its uppcrumst extremity to comprise two a curved sections 29 and 30 each conforming and tightly ailixed to the curvature of (litterent sides 01 the interior surface of the chamber 26. The section :29 forms a close Joechunical fit with a portion of the lower surtace ot the chamber '26 While the section 30 projects more nearly upright and though extending); entirely across the chamber laterally with respect to the (ll1't(,il()1l ol its projectioiu is spaced from and non-contiguous Will! the opposite louer surtuce of the chamber ill. hrs termed the sections 29 and 30 sectional area than the pipe et con .itute partitions 'l oriningr an upwardly T l 'll lfiCi'lllg cupshaped pocket or li'unel.

The chamber 26 still further interiorly with ballle-plate S t inrposcd betweei the curvature and the ct'ion thoueh nou-contigutms with both. is preferably shaped as an lil'u'Ql'z-VJ cur with the u er portion par- ;toll :.;i'uc; the cur iturc and the i "*en'iiti. extending down, into the cup-sr upcd pocl-zet to a point i-alightly below the unper extreuiit; oil the section 30. The upper surface of the battle-plate 3' is moreorer ser rated.

rheriorly the n'at rcontainer 2 is proii led with the coiunmn tfpe of insert xalres and ST spaced some distance from eacl Jther and connected with the usual. graduu'ith a so. spaced a SE55. Connected with this i 37 a pipe 39 and connected turn u uh this pipe is a pressure gage l-O. The propos s of this mechanism being; com.- mon to the. art, it requires no elaborate er:- pl :1 n a. ti on.

The 0; oration of my pressure regulatir J .50 device may now be stated to be as 'lOllOWSi l sunnn a given quantity of Water and IGSPGCllYBlj/ Within the mercury inclosed.
